There has been a lot of requests for an upgrade to the calendar for Geeklog 1.3.x. I\'m working on such an upgrade to be a plugin replacement for the calendar.
Major imporvements and features include full support for recurring events, iCalendar compatibility, full Geeklog group/user integration, and much more.
So far I\'ve completed work on the MySQL tables, and gotten pretty far working on a display class. I would appreciate it if people took a look at the table definitions to make sure I\'m not missing anything obvious.
Check out what is completed so far at: http://shell.abtech.org/~vmf/geeklog/calendar.html.
I\'ll post progress updates to this thread as work gets completed. Any questions or suggestions can be posted here or emailed to me at vinny01@users.sourceforge.net.

Well, here goes some thoughts on what could be very useful in new calendar: Cribbing a bit from my favorite Online Calendar.

Group ViewsThe most important feature of all.Security based group views into ONE calendar.Idea would be to have multiple groups be able to post their events into one calendar (analogy would be multiple departments in one company).The events show up as different colors See exmampleButtons or drop-down allows selection of ALL groups (visible to this user's security rights), or just ONE group.Colors help distinguish views when you show ALLUsers with no rights to a group never see events for that group(Security wise very much in the vein of current Forums plug-in, which you can assign View/Post rights to a specific group and hide from others.)

Hey, I'm willing to PayPal 10 bones into the pot if you get something going on this. The group calendar thing with GL groups security (and corresponding GUI as I mention above) would be very sweet for my needs!

1) Possibility to link an event directly to a Static Page (or any other page). Lets say I have &quot;Soccer game&quot; listed as an event for Oct. 20th. When I'd click on &quot;Soccer game&quot;, it would not be directing me to the event page generated by the calendar, but instead to a Static Page of my choice.

2) Language: I'd appreciate to see the names of the MONTH and DAY linked to the language files, so it doesn't show English only

As for 1, I'm already planning on supporting "resources" in the form of URLs, any number for a given event. I'm taking the easy way out by using php's built in ability to get labels for MONTHs and DAY for many languages.

Well, I'm also ready to commit cash. I wouldn't be asking for this without paying. I'm ready to put $50 for a beta version, and another $50 for a final work. It's a little over 10 bucks, but it's for a &quot;commercial&quot; cause one might say. Of course, be sure I'll need a receipt.

I was told that I should post here. I am switching over to GL. I have a very active calendars for antique fairs and auctions. 2 to 20 or even 30 auctions a day. that many events does not look very nice in a grid. I was wondering if you would consider an alternative lost format. you can see my calendar at http://www.iantiquesguide.com
